Lyrics Lightning Bolts - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Two
lightning
bolts
were
delivered
to
my
room
They
were
gifts
from
Zeus
I
rock
the
bolts
in
a
basinet
of
pine
People
ask
me
how
I
am
I
say
I
am
alright
I'm
fine!
I
push
the
lightning
bolt
in
a
pram
Till
the
sun
goes
down
and
it
gets
dark
And
the
girls
from
Jubilee
Street
hang
out
their
windows
And
they
wave
and
ask
me
how
I
am
tonight
I
say
I
am
good
I'm
alright!
I
Athens
all
the
youths
are
crying
from
the
gas
I
am
by
the
hotel
pool
working
on
a
tan
People
come
up
and
ask
me
who
I
am
I
say
if
you
don't
know
Don't
ask
Zeus
laughs
but
it's
the
gas
And
he
asks
me
how
I
am
I
say
Zeus
don't
ask
My
lightning
bolts
are
jolts
of
joy
They
are
joy
boys
from
Zeus
I
feed
them
porridge
in
their
booster
seats
of
knowledge
And
in
the
cradle
of
democracy
the
pigeons
are
wearing
gas
masks
My
lightning
bolts
play
in
the
elevators
They
slide
down
the
hotel
banister
And
Zeus
throws
a
gas
canister
And
it
spins
around
the
pool
As
pigeons
wearing
respirators
Steal
the
lightning
bolts
Zeus
wants
them
back
Oh,
my
bolts
of
joy
Oh,
my
darling
little
boys
They
are
lost
to
us
And
people
They
are
never
coming
back
At
night
I
watch
them
sleep
And
cry
years
of
tears
And
it's
not
the
gas
People
ask
me
how
we
are
We
are,
I
say,
mostly
lost
